FNO London

Normally, Fashion's Night Out is all about the free perks... and last night there were definitely fantastic drinks, gift bags, and delicious treats.  I had my very first ever macaroon at Victoria's Secret, liquid chocolate & truffles from Hotel Chocolat, and what seemed like an endless stream of available free alcohol.  Tory Burch even supplied gourmet takeaway food from Street Kitchen's van.  Still, the best part this year was not the edibles or the shop-portunities or even the spotting of celebs (like Misfits actress Antonia Thomas)- it was without a doubt the performers that made this night amazing.

My night started down by McQueen, Tiffany's, Chanel and all the other fabulously expensive places with incredibly long queues (lines).  While glamorous, it was also slightly depressing because I cannot afford very much shopping down there.  As I made my way down though I was delighted to see the evening turning into a street festival as much as an opportunity to shop.  It was complete with a swing dancing stage and some of the coolest buskers (street performers) I have ever heard.

Ended the night with drinks at the flagship for Superdry on Regent St. in the gorgeous high fashion punk barbershop Tommy Guns Salon.

At The Gazelli Art House, Philip Colbert of The Rodnik Band's (part musician collaborations/part fashion designer) had his Andy Warhol-esque clothing pieces on display for the evening.  He quite amusingly performed with No Cars, who were all wearing his collection. There should be a music video of it going up soon, according to the photographer we met there, and I shall be sure to share it! 

Buskers!

I tried to link to as much as possible because all of these artists and places are worth checking out. :)
